A Comparison of Two Vertical Mixing Schemes in a Pacific Ocean General Circulation Model
The upper Pacific Ocean current and temperature have been simulated by a 3-dimensional ocean general circulation model (OGCM) with two different vertical mixing schemes. One corresponds to the modified Richardson number dependent scheme of Pacanowski and Philander (PP, 1981); the other is adapted from the newly developed K-Profile Parameterization (KPP) scheme (Large et al., 1994). Both schemes...
متن کاملVertical Mixing , Energy , and the General Circulation of the Oceans
■ Abstract The coexistence in the deep ocean of a finite, stable stratification, a strong meridional overturning circulation, and mesoscale eddies raises complex questions concerning the circulation energetics. In particular, small-scale mixing processes are necessary to resupply the potential energy removed in the interior by the overturning and eddy-generating process. A number of lines of ev...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model for Indian Ocean Circulation in Spherical Coordinate
In recent years, the Indian Ocean (IO) has been discovered to have a much larger impact on climate variability than previously thought. This paper reviews processes in which the IO is, or appears to be, actively involved. We begin the mathematical model with a pattern for summer monsoon winds. Three dimensional temperature and velocity fields are calculated analytically for the ocean forced by ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Vertical Mixing on the Atlantic Water Layer Circulation in the Arctic Ocean
An ice-ocean model has been used to investigate the effect of vertical mixing on the circulation of the Atlantic Water layer (AL) in the Arctic Ocean. The motivation of this study comes from the disparate AL circulations in the various models that comprise the Arctic Ocean Model Intercomparison Project (AOMIP). It is found that varying vertical mixing significantly changes the ocean’s stratific...
